FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS.

April 8, 1990

TORONTO — FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. Canadians and peace groups opposed to NATO low-level flight tests near Goose Bay, Newfoundland, say they won an important moral battle last week when it was recommended the flights be reduced. A federal environmental assessment panel recommended that Canada's military reduce training flights over traditional Indian hunting grounds. The Canadian Department of National Defense rejected any reduction, saying it could jeopardize Canada's reputation as a dependable ally and stop plans to turn Goose Bay into a NATO training base.
